Lesson 1 - Define Creativity

What do you will think about when the word "Creativity" come to your mind?

For me creativity is the ability to create something NEW from what our mind is thinking and then produce into reality. Just like we can create something NEW like NEW ideas, NEW concepts, NEW objects or even a NEW things that may existed in the world but replacing the old one. However all these NEW creation may be useful in solving problems in our daily life, entertaining ourselves and others.

For being a creative people, we need to think outside the box which will result us in viewing or thinking in different perspectives. We must try not to think of the obvious things. 1+1 may be not equal to 2?


Here are some quotes I want to share -
"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it." - Pablo Picasso
"To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong." -Joseph Chilton Pierce
It is very useful for being a creative people! Sometimes, we fear of being wrong end up with not dare to try it out. Actually we can learn it from the mistakes by not to escape the thing we feel cannot do.
You think you are not creative? But you never try you never know!


Creative is requires a lot of HARD WORD! For example, Thomas Alva Edison. He is try invent light bulb that many inventor had tried and failed before! However, the light bulb invented successfully by Thomas Edison! It's not something he do on his first try. He test thousand and thousands of other materials to use for filament without giving up.
